jury duty

Today I had jury duty.

After six hours and being told I would "likely serve" due to my row position, I was not chosen. Whew!

But I will tell you this: the case (what little I heard) broke my heart. It makes me so thankful for those people who do sit on juries and make such difficult decisions. And, as cheesy as it sounds, I'm so thankful I live in a country in which getting a fair trial is a right.

Needless to say, I'm pretty tired. It's been a pretty exhausting two days, and I'm very thankful for a precious husband who is going to come home and cook us breakfast for dinner {chocolate chip pancakes, anyone!?}. I'm so ready for this weekend so we can do absolutely nothing.
